A theorem on estimates of solutions of impulsive parabolic equations by means of solutions of impulsive ordinary differential equations is proved. An application to the population dynamics is given.

algebraic-delay differential systems and age structured population dynamics Jianhong Wu York University, Canada [email protected] N. Kosovalic, F.M.G. Magpantay, Y. Chen We present some recent results on the fundamental theory and numerical analysis of algebraic-delay differential systems, and discuss its motivation from and applications to structured population dynamics. On the basins of attractio...

Essential to each other, growth and exploration are jointly observed in populations, be it alive such as animals and cells or inanimate such as goods and money. But their ability to move, crucial to cope with uncertainty and optimize returns, is tempered by the space/time properties of the environment. We investigate how the environment shape optimal growth and population distribution in such c...

In metapopulations, the maintenance of local populations can depend on source–sink dynamics, where populations with positive growth rate seed populations with negative growth rate. The pattern and probability of successful dispersal among habitats can therefore be crucial in determining whether local populations will become rare or increase in abundance. We present here data on the dispersal st...

Motivated by issues arising in population dynamics, we consider the problem of iterating a given analytic function a number of times. We use the celebrated technique known as Carleman linearization that turns (for a certain class of functions) this problem into simply taking the power of a real number. We expand this method, showing in particular that it can be used for population models with i...

This study investigates the effect of competition between individuals on population dynamics when they compete for different resources during different seasons or during different growth stages. Individuals are assumed to compete for a single resource during each of these periods according to one of the following competition types: scramble, contest, or an intermediate between the two. The effe...
